From Tea Embassy

Beautiful, authentic silver needles white tea from Fujian, China. These fresh leaf buds have the “bai hao” or “white down” that gives it more of its sweet flavor. White tea is unprocessed, so these buds have been plucked and dried, making it a rare and light tea for you to enjoy anytime of day. As a white tea, you can re-steep these leaf buds several times to continue to get the smooth taste of the white tea.

2 Tasting Notes

I tried this tea yesterday by brewing it in a tisaniere. It was good, but not great. Today, I fired up the Breville and really liked it. The instructions on the package directed me to use two tablespoons of the tea and to brew it at 180. I think the increased amount of tea helped quite a bit from yesterday’s approach, as did the slightly higher temperature than the hot valve on the water container in the office.

I like the viscous feel as I drink the tea. It is a pale yellow color; the flavor and fragrance is delicate and light. I’m getting some of the astringency that I associate with black teas, but not nearly so much. I’m guessing this is even less than some of the oolongs I’ve had.
